Stanford University

Honoring volunteers

The Office of Public Affairs presented the 2005 Community Partnership Awards to members of three local organizations—the Community Working Group, the Youth Engaged in Leadership and Learning program and United Students for Veterans' Health—at a luncheon on May 3. This is the second year that the university has presented the awards, which recognize programs that benefit the local community and represent successful community partnerships between Stanford and its neighbors. Above, Kenny Gundle, '05, discussed the importance of being a volunteer while accepting an award on behalf of the Unified Students for Veterans’ Health.

Also honored at the luncheon were history Professor Al Camarillo and Associate Professor of Medicine Marilyn Winkleby, recipients of the Miriam Aaron Roland Volunteer Service Prize. The prize was awarded for their outstanding personal commitment to community service and willingness to engage students in integrating academic scholarship with significant volunteer service to society.
